"Gymnastics taught me to always be fired up and focused on all the cool things I can't do... YET!"
           -Mark Gibson

From running the 100 mile length of the Florida Keys to riding a skateboard 600 miles to Canada and  riding a mountain bike 2,700 miles along the U.S. Continental Divide and more, his programs are a highly engaging and entertaining masterclass in thinking creatively, acting boldly and persevering relentlessly.

​In his signature keynote Mark brings together humor, audience interaction and stories of his own wild misadventures to explain the process of how he takes a crazy idea and makes it happen.

MARK'S SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
​ ​
Curiosity... Audacity... Tenacity
Getting Inside the Mindset of C.A.T. People

• CONSISTENTLY CREATE HIGH-VALUE IDEAS
• BECOME LASER FOCUSED ACTION TAKERS
• DEFINE OBSTACLES AS REASONS TO TRY HARDER NOT EXCUSES TO QUIT​

Are you an expert? Be careful!

Too many of us fall into the trap of limiting our future opportunities by clinging to the false security past success. Mark’s C.A.T. mindset performance template helps  people get out of the "expert trap" and develop a reputation for being an innovative high-value idea resource, a bold action taker, and a resilient defeater of obstacles and barriers. 

With authentic storytelling and engaging visuals from his own adventures Mark will show your team how to shake off the intimidation of thinking big and start having fun going  after challenging goals. 
​
 In This Fun and Energizing Keynote, Audiences Learn How To:

• Consistently generate high-value ideas
• Routinely perform outside your comfort zones
• Turn yourself into an idea magnet
• Act on belief instead of waiting for guarantees
• Get fired up and excited about the things you "can't" do
• Build a self-image based around your potential instead of your past 
• Approach fear as a test of your perseverance, not a reason to quit
• Be a wanter who takes action instead of a wisher who makes excuses 
• Use past successes as a springboard to what's next instead of an anchor to what's safe and familiar
• Know the difference between which fears to ignore and which fears to take very seriously
• Develop the habits of winning persistence

​THREE KEY Takeaways 

• Curious team members who are opportunity focused problem solvers, solution seekers and innovators.
• Audacious team members who are decisive action takers even when it's "hard", "uncomfortable" or "scary"
• ​Tenacious team members with the relentless grit to crush obstacles and keep making forward progress until they nail the tough projects that lesser teams would quit on

HOW He Does That
Drawing from his experiences of dreaming up and pursuing his own outrageous goals, (he once rode a skateboard 600 miles from Washington DC to Ottawa, Canada for example) he presents entertaining and highly inspiring keynote addresses to audiences who want to routinely outperform themselves. 

WHO Hires Mark?
Companies and organizations that want the competitive advantage of teams packed with innovative thinkers, driven action takers and resilient achievers. 
​
MARK'S GOAL is to Leave His Audience:

• Driven by a foundation of wonder and curiosity about all the rewarding opportunities they may have been mindlessly missing in the past
• Audacious enough to take bold, decisive action regardless of how hard, uncomfortable or scary it is
• Strengthened to keep pushing forward with the emotional endurance of persistent tenacity
